Crafting
Banners are made of: a base, a pole, and a banner sheet.You'll only need sticks, cotton and wood.


Creating your flag
Left click anywhere with the banner in hand, and play with this screen.


Once done, just close the form and place the banner as any other block. Repeat for pic #1 results.

Very nice!

Awesome!

Great work sir!

You won my admiration!

For you, sir. Can I ask if you can make a mod to fit two slopes together?

Thanks for your support!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by fitting two slopes together. Do you mean having nodes which are made of, for example, a wooden slab and a stone slab? In which case, yes, I could do it, though several questions would then arise, such as, how to determine whether the slab should break like wood or like stone?

Yes, both slabs, and stairsplus 'slopes' (triangular slabs). Maybe make it break like the stronger material? For example, if it's cracky=2, and the other one is choppy=3, it'll be choppy.

Yes, I think it is very possible to do such a mod. The block would likely have a couple glitches related to light, though. At the moment, however, I am working on a (real!!) factions mod + adapting banners to it, so don't expect it from me too soon.

Nice!
This is a great idea.

Okay, thanks :D

Update:
- Steel banners have been added (they're the same, just with a different texture)
- Optional support for the factions plug-in which is being developed
* Power banner increase a faction's power, allowing it to claim chunks
* Death banner (not finished yet) allow a faction to declare war on another

Can you add possibility to hang them vertically?

Do you mean vertical banners?
They are planned, but will probably require their own shapes, otherwise they wouldn't look very good.

Yes, vertical.
